History

On June 8, 1964, around 18 families of the members of Signal Corps of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) were relocated from Diliman, Quezon City to an area in Fort Bonifacio, with the assistance of the Signal Service Batallion of the Philippine Army. [4] [5] That area later became known as Enlisted Men's (EM's) Signal Barrio, incorporating the name of the corps. [6] It was formally established on January 25, 1965, when it was reinforced by then-AFP Chief of Staff General Alfredo Santos. [4] An association composed mostly of the wives of the corps personnel, led by Clarita Manalili, petitioned to then-President Diosdado Macapagal to separate EM's Signal Barrio from Fort Bonifacio and award it to the residents. Macapagal then signed Proclamation No. 462 on September 29, 1965, which excluded the area from the military camp and called it as AFP EM's Village; the proclamation took effect but was not implemented. [4]

Bicutan, a barrio where Fort Bonifacio was located, was divided into four barrios in 1972, in which one of them became known as Signal Village. [7] It was converted into a barangay by the virtue of Presidential Decree No. 557 signed by then-President Ferdinand Marcos on September 21, 1974. [8] Its parcels of land were not yet distributed to the residents because they were still being reserved for the military camp. [7] On January 7, 1986, Marcos signed Proclamation No. 2476 to exclude the barangay from military reservation. [7] The Bureau of Lands began to distribute the parcels of land among the residents but was interrupted in February 1986 due to the EDSA revolution. [4] On October 16, 1987, then-President Corazon Aquino signed Proclamation No. 172 reaffirming the exclusion of the barangay from reservation. [4]

In 2008, the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Taguig passed City Ordinance No. 61 to create a new barangay that would be known as Central Signal Village, [9] which was also the new name of Signal Village. [10] : 49–50  A plebiscite to ratify the ordinance was conducted by the Commission on Elections on December 18, 2008. [11] [12] The city's board of canvassers proclaimed it as valid on December 28, 2008. [9] Signal Village was also divided to create new barangays, namely Katuparan, North Signal Village, and South Signal Village. [5]

Geography

Central Signal Village has a total land area of 77 hectares (770,000 square meters). [5] Before 2008, when it was still known as Signal Village, the barangay had a total land area of 1,642,869 square meters (164 hectares). [13] It is currently bordered to the north by Sampaloc Street and M.R.T. Avenue (formerly Cuasay Street), to the south by Governor Rodriguez Avenue, Luzon Avenue, Espino Street, Callejon Balleser Street, and Calle Cabasaan, to the east by NAPOCOR High Tension Power Line, to the northwest by Veterans Compound, and to the southwest by F.T.I. Compound. [9] It has seven adjacent barangays: North Signal Village and Pinagsama on the north, Hagonoy and New Lower Bicutan on the east, South Signal Village and Lower Bicutan on the south, and West Bicutan on the west. [5]

The barangay is composed of 60% hilly areas and 40% flat lands. [5] It is traversed by the West Valley Fault of the Marikina Valley Fault System, making the barangay prone to an earthquake that could generate of up to 7.2 magnitude on the Richter scale. [14]
